Worthlessness




Here are some pictures from Mokautum or "Garbage City." This is a community that is built around a garbage dump. There is a strong ministry with kids here that is bringing a lot of positive change. Still there are sad stories and feelings of worthlessness here. We were told a story of a little boy who felt less than a donkey because the donkey was allowed to go to town and collect the garbage while the little boy had to stay in this garbage dump with no opportunity. So there are sad stories and lots of poverty in this place, but God is working here.

Hi Sonja...

Wowzers hey... the lessons God teaches us, the people He brings into our lives... the impact that knowing the hurt and need in the world have in our hearts... there are not enough words to express the depth of what this world holds...

I wish I had come across your blog sooner! I will revisit often to think and pray for you guys... enjoy Egypt and the culture that you are immersed in; even in the tough stuff, enjoy and learn from every moment, as you can never get them back...

Many Blessings... when you get back I'd love to hear all about your journey!
